God Makes All Things NEW

Flowers coming back in our flower boxes....this time of year shouts "God makes all things new!" If you look past the swing set you will see something new hiding in our yard...a compost bin...Being with K and Co last weekend and thinking of Earth Day approaching inspired me to look into having a compost bin at our house...wanted to recycle more of our waste, but didn't want to be the "smelly neighbor" with a rickety self-made bin...and then Mike's co-worker was looking to pass along his nice compost bin...so we lucked into a nice one! We are grateful to have this tangible way to try to show our kids how God really does "make all things new"...our old fruit peelings, coffee grinds, etc will be turned into rich soil...which we hope to use to grow a little tomato plant in a pot on our back deck...our kids love tomatoes!

Mike poking fun at me during my photo shoot...I read the little booklet cover to cover and I'm excited to get started with this process...snowing and the cold temps are putting a hold on it though...hopefully it will feel more "springy" again soon!

How often do Good Friday and Earth Day happen on the same day? Jesus came because God so loved the world and God shows us each Spring that He is a God of redemption...through what He shows us in His creation and as we celebrate Easter...He can and does make all things new...in His creation and with His people...
